mortality/aging
• newborns die within 48 hours after birth
|
renal/urinary system
• podocytes show incomplete differentiation with failure to project foot processes to the outer surface of the glomerular capillaries in neonates, indicating impaired podocyte maturation
|
• arrangement of podocyte foot processes is distorted with nearly 100% showing a flattered pattern
|
• glomeruli of neonates exhibit obliteration of capillary tufts lined with immature columnar-shaped podocytes
